Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mixed axle suspension of a motor vehicle comprising, mounted in parallel, elastic metallic means and elastic hydropneumatic means.
  • Automotive axle suspensions with metal springs are difficult to adjust for height so that the axle height depends on the load as well as the stiffness and damping characteristics.
  • suspensions with metal springs have advantages; thus, they generally admit higher natural frequencies than hydropneumatic suspensions thus giving an impression of rigidity.
  • the elastic hydropneumatic means are composed of a carrier element which comprises a piston mounted sliding in a cylinder hydraulically connected to a suspension accumulator; these mixed suspensions also include height correction means and damping means acting on the elastic hydropneumatic means.
  • the subject of the present invention is a mixed suspension of this kind in which the damping can be varied as a function of various driving parameters without modifying the rigidity.
  • damping means are with valves and comprise a first damper mounted on the piston of the carrier element and a second damper mounted fixed at the inlet of the hydropneumatic accumulator, this second damper being associated to a hydraulic slide valve admitting a first position in which it directly connects the carrier element to the accumulator and a second position in which it connects the carrier element to the accumulator by passing through the damper, and means for moving the drawer in function of a driving parameter.
  • the effect of the metallic elastic means is independent of the load given the presence of the height corrector.
  • a variation of the load thus acts only on the hydropneumatic elastic means.
  • Damping is normally achieved by the damper mounted on the piston of the carrier element. But when a desired criterion intervenes, for example the speed of the vehicle, a stroke of the steering wheel, acceleration or braking, the damper incorporated in the hydropneumatic accumulator comes into action and increases the damping.
  • the presence of dampers with valves enables a correct pressure-flow characteristic to be obtained, which would not be the case with jet dampers.
  • the cylinder of the carrier element is hydraulically connected to the accumulator on the side opposite to the piston rod and the piston is mounted peripherally sealed with the damper, hydraulic connections making communicate through the shock absorber on both sides of the piston.
  • a rear axle comprising for each wheel an upper triangle 1 which is pivotally mounted at 2 on the body 3 of the vehicle, and a lower triangle 4 which is pivotally mounted at 5 on this body.
  • the two triangles 1 and 4 are connected to each other, at their ends, by the wheel pivot 6.
  • the suspension is provided on the one hand by a metal compression spring 7 which is interposed between the body 3 and the lower triangle 4, and on the other hand by a supporting element which is generally designated in the drawing by the reference 8 and is articulated respectively at 9 and 10 on the body 3 and on the triangle 4.
  • the carrier element 8 is constituted by a cylinder 11 inside which a piston rod 12 can slide, the seal being provided by a plastic seal 13 and a elastomer O-ring 14 on the high pressure side and with an elastomer O-ring 15 and a felt seal 16 on the low pressure side.
  • a housing 17 Inside the bearing 20 is crimped a damper 23 with valves fitted of an axial calibrated bore, of the kind shown in FIG. 1 of patent FR 2 088 803, on this damper 23, a valve 24 is slightly under tension, the lifting of this valve being limited by a stop 25; the valve 24 is pierced with a hole 24 a smaller than that drilled in the axis of the damper 23.
  • the liquid passes through the hole 24 a while in the attack direction, the valve moves away from the damper, being limited in its stroke by the stop 25, and the liquid can pass through the larger hole of the axis of the damper.
  • This head has a bore which receives a ball joint 28, held in place by circlips 29; two double lip seals 30 protect the ball joint from water splashes and dust.
  • Two sockets 31 are used for fixing to the body 3 of the vehicle.
  • the head 26 comprises a conduit 32 which ends in a thread where a flexible connection 33 is fixed to a suspension sphere 34.
  • a rubber expansion stop 35 limits the expansion stroke.
  • the stop comes to rest on a plastic washer 36 arranged to let the liquid pass through holes 37 and 38.
  • a dust cover 39 covers the lower part of the cylinder and is held in place by the double tightening collar 40.
  • This barrier -dust includes a first return nipple 4l and a second nipple venting to the atmosphere 42 in a place protected from dust, so as to allow breathing of the dust cover which completely envelops the patella in placing in the two grooves two washers 43 which are used for attachment to the vehicle.
  • the suspension sphere 34 is screwed onto a support 44, the seal being provided by a seal 45 (see Figure 4).
  • This support has three holes 46 used for fixing it to the structure of the vehicle.
  • a damper 47 held in place by a nut 48; this damper has a constitution similar to that of the damper 23, that is to say that it is of the valve type.
  • a drawer 49 normally held in abutment on a connector 50 by a spring 51, itself centered by a cup 52, puts in communication the inlet orifice 53 of the liquid coming from the flexible conduit 33 and the carrier element 8 with a conduit 54 leading to the suspension sphere.
  • the conduit 55 leading to the damper 47 is closed by the drawer 49.
  • the spring 51 is held by a plug 56 secured to the support 44 by a ring 57 and sealed by a seal 58.
  • a stop 59 limits the stroke of the drawer 49.
  • a wash bottle 60 allows the return of seepage from the drawer to the tank 61.
  • a connector 62 receives the pipe tion coming from the pump 63.
  • the connector 50 sealed by a seal 64 is connected to the pump 63 by a solenoid valve 65.
  • An electronic sensor 73 mechanically linked to the middle of the anti-roll bar 74 is connected to the motor 72 and to the solenoid valve 70 so as to put the motor 72 into service, therefore the pump 63, if the vehicle is too low, or to open the solenoid valve 70 if the vehicle is too high.
  • the metal spring 7 is defined so that it takes only about 80% of the load in running order, or about 150 daN at each wheel; it will never take a higher load since the sensor 73 keeps the height of the vehicle constant.
  • the load-bearing element 8 takes into account the remainder of the load in running order, ie 20% of this load; moreover it takes into account the loads going from the load in running order to the limit load, which determines a hydraulic pressure of about 28 bars in running order and 118 bars under limit load.
  • the damping effect produced by the damper 23 is different in expansion, the liquid having to pass through the small hole 24 has valve 24 which is applied to the damper 23, and in attack , the liquid can then pass through the larger axial hole of the damper.
  • the solenoid valve 65 When the solenoid valve 65 is closed, the slide 49 is held by the spring 51 bearing on the connector 50, position in which the connector 53 is directly in communication with the suspension sphere 34. On the other hand, if this electro- valve is open, the slide moves against the action of the spring 51 and comes to occupy a position in which the connector 53 is isolated from the bore 54 and placed in communication with the bore 55; the liquid must therefore pass through the damper 47 to go from the element 8 to the suspension sphere 34 or vice versa. This damper adds an additional damping force in attack and rebound to that provided by the damper 23.
  • the solenoid valve 65 can be controlled for example as a function of the speed of the vehicle, the angle or the swivel speed of the steering wheel to avoid too great a roll angle, of the accelerator to avoid nose-up, or of the brake to avoid diving.
